Anne of Green Gables

You ever feel like some books were written especially for you? No, not in the egoist, ‘Aren't-I-Special!' kinda way.

No, it's something else.

As if the author had spun a delightful tale, coloured with all the right jokes, quips and things that make you go ‘Me too!' in the exact right places, filled it with precious, precious characters you wish were real, then added the finishing touches in the form of some great quotes and dialogue, and then lovingly wrapped it in a book form with a ribbon on top and sent it, the little perfect book, wrapped in a khaki brown paper package at your doorstep.

That's what I mean.

This book is the wonderful, lush green land of Avonlea, the school classes, the childhood adventures, the dreams, the hopes, the fears. Anne is a kindred spirit. I have rarely felt such endearing sympathy and fondness for a character as I have with Anne; she is simply wonderful.
